We get Oakland , 1st , after the break,      Gibby is Napping

[IndyTwinsFan]

This fiasco kind of makes me glad that I've been preoccupied with other things this afternoon.  Therefore, I hadn't seen or heard anything on this mess of a game until just a few minutes ago.  I definitely won't be watching the rest of it today.

Reminds me of Total System Failure, except this time it's mainly the offense.

Just think guys...three more innings of this extravaganza!

[Aggies7]

What a joke.

I'll tell you, though. If you spot Gibson 14 runs, he's tough to beat.

If they dont turn this around coming out of the ASG break last years drop in Aug-Sept attendance is going to look like the good old days.

If they don't do some significant alterations to this roster during the ASG break, apart from reactivating Polanco, I am going to be extremely disappointed in this front office.  Primarily because, in my mind, they're giving the indication to the fan base and the players themselves that they just don't care enough to even try to improve the roster.  IMO, that's pretty sad, to say the least.

There, now I feel a bit better.

Yippee!

[glunn]

At least Julien is still focused.

[Aggies7]

I hope there’s a big supply of these hanging around target field. Well deserved

He can at least D.H  When Polonco comes back ,   OH WAIT !!!!!!!!!!

[Aggies7]

How about we bury one in someone’s back for god’s sake

[Aggies7]

6 home runs allowed. Incomprehensible

That's because we have our $13 or so million a season "star" occupying that position, one who's virtually an automatic out these days.

The O's are handing us a whole case of that not only today, but all weekend as well.

[glunn]

Nice hit by Kiriloff and nice hustle to make it  a double.

Not surprising that they did absolutely nothing with it.

[ziggy]

Donnie Barrels swinging at a ball a foot outside and then a foot inside. No favoritism from him today.

Buxton with the big hole in his swing on the low/inside pitch. Same old same old.

I thought they were going to change after the 'infamous' player only meeting?

[gman]

RIP 2023 - Last one out turn off the lights

[glunn]

I was happy that the Twins were able to keep Buxton and Correa. Now I wish that they could be unloaded to teams that would take on their contracts.

Say his name.  Byron Buxton.  

[ashbury]

After that home run, Julien should have been made to stand up and apologize to the crowd for prolonging the game any longer than it absolutely had to.

[ziggy]

Twins are about to be 45 and 46. How did they ever win 45?

[Danchat]

Just checking in... woof. What a way to go into the All Star break!

It’s a miracle.
